Shanks has the mizu mizu no mi (water logia)
And his crew consists only of logia type df users. Oda's fooling us with his haki, lads
Shanks has the mizu mizu no mi (water logia)
Logia fruits and the like don't matter
Haki has made it obsolete
Then he wouldn't lose his arm to a shark since logia type cant really get damaged in such a way
Also how would water logia work in Water? Do you still get affected by the curse?
As it would be one of the most mysterious and unknown logia types, I am sure Oda will bring up some reasonable exceptions for this logia type. It's a good alternative to the pure haki theory and could explain shanks ability to swim in the beginning. Which is btw the only reason ppl think he, and thus his crew, has no df abilities at all.
It was confirmed in a magazine that he has no devil fruit at all.
Had Big Mom df powers until the moment she presented them?
There’s a difference between being silence about someone’s devilfuit power or simply saying there isn't one to begin with.

He wasn't as strong 10 years and he only lost it because he defended Luffy. He made it fuck off with haki later asserting his dominance
If he had haki powerful enough for a sea king to fuck off,then there's no reason for the sea king to attack him in the first place.
He was yonko back than. A Yonko, who competed with WB and BM and Kaido.
Though, I can see that it might have been necessary for plot reasons.
SEA KINGS ARE FUCKING POWERFUL. EAT SHIT NIGGER
I see. Still won't accept it until it's verified by the manga.
Not the "Lord of the Coast" in particular, he got defeated by Luffy at the very beginning pretty easily.
It didn't attack him though, it attacked Luffy. This isn't impossible user, it could've happened differently, but this doesn't break the logic of the world which is pretty impressive for chapter 1.
That's not really canon, that's written by some random dude at the publishing house
He was obviously showing Luffy what it meant to be a man.
My headcannon though, is that Luffy was already mostly dead but Shanks used some sort of ability to exchange his arm fir Luffy life.
It's from the VJump magazine, it means that it must’ve been approved directly by Oda’s editors or even himself. it should still be considered as canon
Oda is just making it up as he goes.
He did not have a plan for shanks later in the series after losing his arm.
